@waivedwench Agreed. Those were HIS sentiments and he lived through it. For people to 'edit' somebody's feelings so that they can be portrayed as more politically correct is ridiculous. That's the way he felt...nobody has to agree with it or like it.

@waivedwench YES! I went to that school and they had a reproduction of the poem hanging in the hall. Every time we had to line up in the hall I would end up reading it again. I can still repeat that poem word for word now, almost 40 years later.

@drewballs000 I can assure you that MANY men fought in both world wars. To make sure of that, during WW1 men who had not yet signed up kept getting white ribbons pinned to them naming them cowards. They didn't have the rule of keeping one son in a family alive if the others have been killed so some mothers had ALL of their sons wiped out. I've been to John McCrae's house in Guelph a few times and the high school he attended; he just began practising medicine in Montreal.

What they ment to say is, soldiering is part of the canadian identity you killed one of us and he will always be remembered!
-
every Canadian knows Lt. McCrae was born in Guelph.......what matters more is the impact Lt. McCrae had/ has on anyone who reads his poem
-
@drewballs000 seriously? I supposed your teacher was one of those that didn't think the holocaust happened either!
-
@drewballs000 are you sure your "teacher" is actually a teacher?
Why do they keep saying he's from MONTREAL? The man was from Guelph, Ontario!! I grew up there and we had a John McCrae School and his house turned into a museum!! Memorizing "In Flanders Fields" was practically a requirement for graduation in Guelph schools!!
